LVN Interviews for program

Oct 27, 200817 yr

Hi Everyone!

I'm in my last step in getting into the FAS LVN program in CA that starts in Jan 09. My interview is tomorrow afternoon. I was hoping if anyone had any tips or have an idea of what questions they're going to throw out there that I can get prepared for. I've worked so hard and I'm the type that just rambles on and doesn't know when to stop:uhoh3:. I don't want to blow this great opportunity. If anyone out there has any suggestions, I would very much appreciate it.

My interview was some basic "Why did you choose this career change ?" ...... "What qualities do you have that you feel would make you a great nurse ?"....just basic stuff....

Just try to keep your cool, and answer the questions thoughtfully and honestly (...and concisely ). I was kind of thrown for a loop (I guess I did rather well on the pre-entrance testing) when the program director asked me "What do you do to keep your mind so sharp ???" I had to laugh - yeah, I'm older than the average nursing student (50), but I'm not THAT old !!!!! :no: I had a good laugh, but was a strange question to answer ...... said that, quite honestly, I didn't know - I try to eat well and take care of my body (including vitamins/supplements), read a lot, spend time online, and play my guitars. Must've worked, as I'm 6 months into an 11 month program, and things are going shmooooth :smokin:
